At this level (HD800) it's not about quantity but quality of the amplification.
You will never listen at max. level of the amplifier unless it is severly lacking power to drive the headphones. I am driving my room speakers with a 25Wpc First Watt M2 and it sound waaay better than the previous amp which was rated like 150Wpc. Don't buy you equipement by specs drivel in marketing publications but listen to the sound with your favorite music at normal listening levels.
